I've got the Silva L1. but I would seriously look at the Petzl TakTikka PLUS it also has a red filiter and there is supposed to be a new updated Tak Tikka Plus comming out with the new brighter leds.

the Silva L1, L2, L3 series is very uncomfortable to wear with the two battery packs on either side of the head (in back) it makes a round band that should conform to your head into a triangle that give you a headache :mecry: after wearing it for 5 min.

If the red light wasn't a requirement or if you could put red tape over the window I'd say get the PT Apex. Its the best headlamp I've ever used!

Hi,

I allready have a Tikka XP and it's a really good headlamp.
Nice options and good runtime.
you can use it with red filter to.

Tikka XP is allready disponible in France.

I don't know what LED's the Tak Tikka Plus uses (sorry) but the literature for the Apex says it has "4 Ultrabright LED's" I would put them around 36K each from the light output from using them. (it'll light a room wall).

Thanks Doug

I will wait for the updated TakTikka PLUS.

Also thank you for the tip on the PT Apex. It looks great!

Dose it use the new LEDs like the PT Quad?
